Thats how long I was up for yesterday. As said below, I finished the Da Vinci code overnight, and then I went to go take a final. While I was taking said final, I found out I have to provide proof that I was going through anxiety problems and went through several weeks of inconsistant attendence. Fine. So I go home. And im about to take a nap when I get a phone call
"hey, want to help move a TV?"
So, I head down to help move TV. (this is at 10:30?) then I head down to Milford to buy a new TV that was smaller. We go down to milford (near passing out at this point), then we look at TV's for about an hour before deciding they didnt have the one his dad wanted. So we drove down to , actually I dont remember where we drove to next because I was delirious. Wherever it is, we get there, and we find out the TV he wanted is discontinued and on rain check, but if they call everyone who put a rain check on it, and they dont want it, its his. So we're waiting, and all of a sudden he see's another TV (which is the same size as the original one we returned), but because its a little sleeker, we pick that up. Then we take care of a couple other things, and head back to the house to set up the new TV.
Now its about 5. On the way back we stopped at my friends father's restaurant, and I made the mistake of having an expresso made for me. Yeaah. I dont know what wind I was on now, second,third, or fifth, but I was now wired. We set up the TV, and I proceeded to play the new Mario Bros. game on DS and watch Home Movies. At one point when commenting about the game, the first thing I shouted was "I like touching thingS!". anyway. I was going along fine when all of a sudden the screen started to blur. I couldnt make out any details. I take this as a sign to stop, and I inch towards the bed. I say one or two things to my friend which I dont remember at all. And I pass out. I wake up to macaroni and cheese. and then I fall asleep again.
commence 12 hours of sleeping.
Moral of the story?
I kinda liked it.
Reading a book like you would watch a movie is actually very interesting because it gives puts your imagination on overdrive and lets you interpret an entire picture exactly the way you want to see it. I'm sure this wouldnt work for some novels, but for the Da Vinci Code, it was utterly perfect. Now I just need to watch the movie and see how close I came to what the director invisioned.
Another thing too. I'm not saying do this all the time because it pretty much eliminates the ability to do anything straining, but every once in a while disrupting your sleep pattern is pretty nifty. you start thinking differently, pondering and wondering about different things, and after a while I didnt have a care in the world.
I think once every couple of weeks I will read a book in similar style, then see how long I can just stay up and what kind of thoughts I get. Eh, its worth trying.
